I rarely comment on videos, but I just wanted to say that this was such an exceptional interview/historical deep dive into the Range Rover. It's phenomenal to hear it through the lens of the designer. I remember seeing the Range Stormer and being in complete awe of it back in the early 2000's - dreaming of one, but never really seeing produced. I agree with so many of the points here. I ended up getting an LR4, which I will say, is one of my most handsome and favorite cars I've ever owned - even in 2023, it looks amazing. I made a little documentary about my LR4 and the adventures we went on (which I uploaded last year to tell my car how much I appreciated him). The most capable friend I could ever have to not only join me on my adventures, but help to enable them. Last week, I said goodbye to my LR4 and traded him in for a Range Rover Evoque Coupe. It took a long while to find the perfect one - I read that something like 95% of sales were the 5-door and 5% were of the 3-door variant, which is why Land Rover stopped producing them. Anyway, reason I'm bringing this up is, while the Evoque is at times considered less capable, it has so much of the DNA of the Range Rover Stormer. I love how it's like a Power Wheels for adults. Makes me smile every time I get in - totally looks like a concept car come through and through. I hope that beyond the Defender, Land Rover continues to make interesting and unique iterations of their vehicles, like coupes and convertibles, if only to challenge conventionality and to push boundaries. I'm grateful for brands like Land Rover that go out there and take chances and create magnificence through passion. Andy's attention to detail and understanding of the supply chain and collaboration needed is inspiring. Great job, team! Thanks Jason, Andy and Team for this.
I was very fortunate to work on the contracts with Williams to develop the cx-75, i even got to sit in one at williams that was being used for the Spectre Movie. Jaguars an amazing company
I remember going into work experience many years ago and i spent 2 weeks under Andy at JLR! What a wonderful and inspiring guy! Top bloke! I am where I am today because of some of the guidance he gave me!
Andy's notion towards the importance of a concept, in respect to crafting a narrative and readying the public for a bold new design direction, is incredibly insightful stuff.
@@gadmugyenyi7561 Wcc started the project for photos only. Chrome and carbon made the project a driving reality. The stormer sold and the new buyer just left it in our shop to rot. We used it as a promo vehicle for a few years while converting 4dr to 2dr was the hottest thing to do.
I still remember fondly the Range Stormer concept to this day because from the first moment I saw it in a magazine (I want to say CAR?), I absolutely loved the "crushed ice" headlights, and was immensely disappointed that never made it to any production vehicle.
Great to see this concept car with its founder this time. Appreciated the interview and work done to create all these classy off roaders. And the joke about the Disco looking still while moving was very funny 😂
Remember seeing the Stormer at a Car show in 2004 and immediately wanting one. Coincidentally I was wearing a extravagant suit in exactly the same colors the day of the show, a perfect match.
Best looking Range Rovers there’s ever been the new models, we’ve got a 2013 Vogue SDV8 and absolutely love it, can’t see how they can improve it so really looking forward to one of the newer models 👍🏼 Absolutely love this interview and absolutely love Andy, definitely going to look into more content with him in, knows the cars inside out.
Genius. Great to see the passion behind what must be the best range of classic auto products. The point about 'some designs' being just to make a 'look at me' controversial statement about the owner rings so true - just to appeal to the markets that demand outrageous, befinned and crass visuals that will date quicker than a soggy banana. Nothing wrong with the Talbot Tagora, either!
Fabulous vehicles, I have a 2007 2.7 & 2010 3:0 RRS , they put so much effort designing top class vehicles and then leave them with about a dozen silly mechanical & electrical issues and from what I hear the new range of vehicles are prone to lots of sensors problems etc.
I fell in love with range rover when they did the range stomer concept then they did the LRX concept in 2008 at the Detroit auto show I said I would get one of them if it came out. fast forward 15 years later I have the evoque coupe which was based on the lrx concept. great video keep up the good work. ps would like to see a video on the lrx concept.
Pre 2013. Love how the Gas door used to sit above the door line. Mirrors used to look ten times better and the front and rear just exuded Range Rover. Chunkiness, presence. They fell off after That.
The L320 sport had better proportions than the L494. You have to sort of settle for a L405 or better yet a L322 just to reclaim back some of the meat they trimmed off. Sorry models from 2014 and up just never settled with me.
Yes Really, mid 2000’s cars look 10 times better than all this new junk. Body and trim lines look plastic Ish. Ok technology is better but doesn’t mean I should be ok driving a shit box. In my opinion they will never make anything like e46 bmw, L320 and the L322 Range Rover.
The 1st generation looks a bit scrappy, the second was the high point, the third is a slab sided imitation of the 2nd. I liked the challenge around the aggressive lights, unfortunately the answer seemed to be ‘that’s what people want’. Not really sure why you want your car to look intimidating, not in this way at least.
The Stormer was so much fun to drive around on Gran Turismo. Very under rated car in the game. 😁👍
Excellent SUV in GT i hurt some feeling with it in GT5 over a decade ago online
The sound of the engine was everything

I loved it, besides the fact that the interior was simplified
Thank you Gran Turismo for introducing me the Range Rover Stormer years and years ago. Cool concept still looks fresh
That's talking man!

The range stormer and the CX-75 are two of my favourite concepts ever. Both from the same company, shows how great they are
I was very fortunate to work on the contracts with Williams to develop the cx-75, i even got to sit in one at williams that was being used for the Spectre Movie. Jaguars an amazing company
Well said, Bravo 👏🏻

Back in Dubai in 2008 we built a nearly identical copy of the stormer. It was well received and many people fought to buy it.
Really ? To the death ? But seriously I remember that car who got it in the end
Wcc built that one and it was in a very sorry state last time I saw that in a video.

I remember this prototype, it blew my top off! Nineteen years later and still relevant to today's trends. Very well done x
I remember seeing this in a magazine. Iconic. Set the tone for the future 🔥🔥🔥

I remember seeing the range rover with those doors on West Coast Customs
Yeah, I’m sure they built a replica of it.
A customer requested a Range Stormer so they made them one
That first gen Range Rover sport still looks superb
That CX-75.... what a shame it never happened.
The good old days. Long live the L320 Autobiography and especially the L322 Autobiography/ Ultimate edition.
Lovely to see. But please never use that background music again.
Best wheels should do these as an option now
Did they talk about the windshield wipers? There were Rumors that those hood bits were Air Blowers that removed anything😂

One of my favourite concept cars! Andy was fascinating to listen to as well!
That was really interesting. More chats with designers in car collections please.
It's very nice actually seeing the thoughts from the POV of a car designer.

This makes me love my 2012 two door evoque, it’s like a cousin of the stormer in my eyes.
Im glad i got the chance to drive one around the Nurburgring. On Gran Turismo ofcourse.
I obsessed with cars since 2020 I think, and I used to obsessed with Honda CR-V until late 2022. Range Rover with Lambo door is gorgeous.
wtf
It's wild how much of that tech & design is now standard in a lot of cars. And this concept even has a working engine! Wow! 😲😎👍
The funny thing is that the chief designer is called Wheel
I know this designer... a really nice guy
Imagine taking 5 min to get out to pump gas Lmaoo it’s a bad ass suv coupe tho! Always loved those rovers
Can we see an Audi Nuvolori next
Grand turismo 4 vibes
I personally think there just making all the new cars look bubbly
That car still looks more modern than the latest versions
The Jag CX75 or whatever it was called must be their biggest regret to date imo
That was a game changer!
Never seen any of your work before. This is excellent 👍 new subscriber here 👏👏👏👏👏
Remote control for door is so litle 😀😀
A Range Rover with Gullwing doors like a Model X and those lower door panels being used as a side step 🔥
Well done Andy, fantastic ❤
They have one of these on display at Gaydon car museum…
Magnifique surtout dans Gran Turismo 4 en 2005 🤩😍🇨🇵👍
These old concept cars give off Frutiger aero vibes
Well done sir for keeping the range rover design classy and elegance.
Nice that they kept the Stormer name for the alloy wheels, which hardly changed, on the production car
The unique range got an upgrade 🔥
I remember seeing this in a magazine 😍
Same, bro.
Ugly car for trashy people

i love landrover in general there just so addictive like you just want them all
You probably need multiple so at least one is running.
Swiss Tony mashed in with jazz club presenter Nice
I hope for Range Rover that that new Sport is a Pre-Production model because those panel gaps are horrendous.
Land Rovers have something special.
Great looking vehicle
I have a 1/18 scale model car of this. Looks great.
Great video! Nice to see Jason Barlow back on Top Gear. Where're you been mate? 😊
I instantly thought of when west coast customs made their own weird replica of this thing a little while after this one came out.
If they made this in a modern version with that name. Huge hit sales it would be
I saw this as a boy at the Birmingham nec
Amazing door car
At least one thing that hasnt changed Unreliability 😂😂
Which is why if I ever get one, I would rather do either a LS swap or a LT swap.
By the time the doors open on the orange rover .... i would have taken the train there and back .
Anyone know the song that plays at 0:25 seconds at the intro? TIA
All that nice damn body work and they can make a reliable Range Rover. Stick a damn Mercedes power plant in them and make them appealing.
Beautiful 👌🏼

I remember this from Gran Turismo 4
Grey hair; dark suit, roll neck…he must be in design…
I remember watching a show where west coast customs built a replica. They used a Range Rover sport as a base and had trouble due to the roof design
Yes.. it was found in dubai years later
Didn't west coast customs do there take on this ? I'm sure they made there version of this. I remember watching back in the day
Pre 2013. Love how the Gas door used to sit above the door line. Mirrors used to look ten times better and the front and rear just exuded Range Rover. Chunkiness, presence. They fell off after That.
This car really shows the impact GT4 had on today's car enthusiasts
Wish you could have asked him about the terrible decision to eliminate split tail gates from the discovery 5 and if he thought hurt sales.
Takes me waaaayyyy back to Gran Turismo 4
Please do a video on Discovery G4 challenge 13:23
These car are tough, buff, muscular and tanky
If you ask me, I’d rather have 5 L320 Autobiography’s and 5 L322 Autobiography’s over a New Range Rover.
Didn’t west coast customs do one very similar
Actually they're Alfa doors. They were the first to have a car featuring scissor doors.
Well, Land Rover LRX Concept turned out to be more influential on a whole lineup
Now if they can make new range rovers last as long as this that would be awesome 😅
what is the car at @28 mins ? it's its back looks like an hypercar
I was looking for this comment, hopefully someone knows.
its the Jaguar CX-75, there is a few in there and were used in the James Bond Spectre film
@@rubencaixeiro9762 i know!

West Coast Customs actually built one IRL
I sat beside this designer in mathematics at school ...

Because what you really need on a modern Land rover/bmw,etc is something else to go wrong...
Still looks good, apart from the rear. I hate that SUV trend range rover have with the raised backside
I still miss the old top gear.
George Lucas a man of many talents 🤣
I wonder how many times that thing broke down 😂
Money no option, I'd still go for the Touareg ..
Nice looking but I don't think it's aged well.i remember seeing it years ago and thought well nice.still is
Sits back and waits for the inevitable ".Junk vehicles......Toyota's are reliable" comment.

Didn't the West coast customs made the Range Rover Stormer?
It’s lit
New one is a bit fussy in terms of design, i’d go for a all black out spec
